MrFigg Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 I've got a couple of Thenatan plugins and they're actually better than you'd (I'd) expect. Bells is pretty good. Wouldn't pay more than a fiver for them so this is pretty handy. They're selling both Tape Piano and Tape Piano 2 which I don't understand seeing as how 2 is just an improved version of the first one. Anyway, as I said, Bells is worth a look. 2
Sergio Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 (edited) Oh. I thought that I could pay $5 for EVERYTHING ? Edited August 29, 2023 by Sergio 1 2 2
audioschmaudio Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 I can recommend Tawus. It's like Bells, Brass and Black in one plugin. It's a rompler with up to four layers and the way you can change the layers by dragging around on an XY pad is fun. You never know what to expect but quite often it sounds good. The presets have terrible naming. That's the only drawback that I can think of. I'm thinking about getting Tape Piano 2. Does anyone have it? Is it good? 1

I'm thinking of getting it too so if you get it before me then tell me whether it's good or not and I'll do the same :). 2
audioschmaudio Posted August 29, 2023 Posted August 29, 2023 I find it awkward how the so-called industry standard DAW is also the "works-in-all-DAWs-except-this-one" DAW. 1

Was going to say the same. Watched a video where a guy pointed out all the bugs. Don’t like Romplers either so all good.
overbit Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Tawus $5 is a bit interesting but according to my experience of Thenatan plugins I should avoid 1
MrFigg Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 Right...bought Hatz. Looks pretty cool. Couple of problems so far though. The pitch down buttons seem to be pitching up and the pitch up buttons seem to pitching down. I'm using Hatz in Reason 12. I I right click and reset the device all output disappears. That is to say the samples don't trigger. I've written to support so we'll see what they say. Will report back.

Thenatan has a history of releasing and then abandoning plugins. 1
psionx Posted August 30, 2023 Posted August 30, 2023 I bought Tawus and you get Pump, a side chain plugin for free. Not bad. I will play with it later. 1
audioschmaudio Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 In the end I did buy Tape Piano 2. Haven't spent much time with it yet, so I can't say much about it. I think you can get some nice sounds of it. But in the end it's still just a rompler. So, for 5$ I think it's okay. You can hardly get a soundbank for that money and if you have enough space on your hard drive, it can't hurt to get it.
MrFigg Posted August 31, 2023 Posted August 31, 2023 Considered Vybz and Tape but I’ve got RC-20 and a million other Lo-Fiers already. Still annoyed about the buggy crap as well. Thenatan are in the bin. 2
MrFigg Posted September 5, 2023 Posted September 5, 2023 Wrote to the guy again regarding the bugs in Hatz. Now it’s not about the plugin. It’s about their crap support. Still being neutral but soon I’ll be bombing them and clogging their email. Hell, it’s a hobby. 2
